Report: Rob Gronkowski Expected To Play Against Texans On Sunday Night Football

Less than two weeks after sustaining what many assumed was a season-ending injury, the New England Patriots' All-Universe tight end is expected to play tomorrow night in Houston. Find out exactly how much on Battle Red Blog.

Rob Gronkowski returned to practice for the Patriots on Thursday, and now it looks like he'll return to game action when the Patriots play the Texans tomorrow night.

Solid source tells me plan is for Gronkowski to play tomorrow. Will be checked in warm ups, used in limited situations.

While there's always the chance plans change, especially if Gronk doesn't look the way New England wants him to during pre-game warmups, it appears that the Texans will have to deal with the matchup nightmare that is Rob Gronkowski tomorrow night, at least in certain situations.
